'sexy' AF

This week there seems to have been an influx of paper and electronic mail inviting me to meetings on AF . It reminds me of an editorial in the BMJ recently I think entiled rags to riches about AF therapy. Do new advances engender interest in a disease that then becomes 'sexy' or does the public health burden of these diseases bring them to the fore?

The only sexy thing about AF is what it can do to your brain.

Hello sadian:

I think that all this movements and meetings abou AF are all drug-industry driven by Money, namely with these new oral anti-coagulations, that are not cathing-up in the market in the speed they would like.

All Best,

Joey

this is the link - I'm not sure that I agree that AF does anything good to the brain either with or without anticoagulants!

I meant it wrecks it but am not at liberty to use the vernacular on this site.

Hello Dr. Happy:

Good point. I entirely agree with you. Meanwhile, I keep up with warfarin for anti-coagulation purposes during chronic AF.

All Best,

Joey

I saw this paper and immediately thought of this discussion about AF and cognitive decline.
http://ebm.bmj.com/content/early/2012/08/21
I also rermembered Odysseus' comment. It is interesting that only about 30% of patients were anticoagulated,. This was a big topic at the ESC this week also. I'm sure the cynical amongst us will say that other interests are driving this interest!
